Verify that the function satisfies the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem on the given interval. Then find all numbers c that satisfy the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem.
f(x)=x^3-3x+2, [-2,2]
f(x)=x^3-3x+2, [-2,2]
Solution
(f(2)-f(-2))/4 = (8-6+2+8-6-2)/4 = 1
f\'(x) = 3x^2 - 3 = 1
3(x^2 - 1)= 1
x^2 -1 = 1/3
x^2 = 4/3 = 2/3 = 2/1.732 = 1.154
x = c =
